Humane Society International-Canada

This #GivingTuesdayCA, November 28th, support our animal rescue team’s lifesaving work in rescuing 170 dogs from a gruesome dog meat farm in South Korea.

More than 2.5 million dogs are bred for slaughter on industrial dog meat farms across South Korea.

On one of these farms, 170 neglected dogs are currently imprisoned in deplorable conditions with no veterinary care and inadequate food and water. Emaciated and covered in open sores, the dogs are crammed into small, filthy, wire cages that sit atop months of accumulated waste.

With your help, we will rescue these neglected dogs and shut down this dog meat farm for good. Our team will provide urgently needed veterinary care, food and water, and transport all 170 dogs to Canada and the U.S. to be adopted into loving homes.

This dog farm closure is a key part of a much larger campaign to ban the dog meat trade forever in South Korea. Your support helps HSI raise awareness among South Koreans about the plight of dogs destined for the meat trade, transition dog meat farmers to more humane livelihoods and pressure the South Korean government for a ban.

But we don’t stop there: in addition to our efforts to stop the dog meat trade, we work to protect all kinds of animals -- including those in the wild, in laboratories and on factory farms.

This #GivingTuesdayCA, fight the dog meat trade by helping us give 170 dogs a better life. Please visit: bit.ly/2AeEq5e
